Need help getting started on an interactive media project? Brad Larson provides consulting to help museums and exhibit design firms successfully navigate the interactive design process. A leading contributor to the museum field, Brad draws on more than 12 years experience developing interactives for high-profile exhibits and offers the following consulting services:


Synthesizing exhibit goals, technological trends, and current learning theory provides a solid project foundation. The process involves at least three intensive design sessions on location separated by periods of research and development and follow-up.

Often, by the time a technology is installed a year or three years from concept development, the technology itself no longer provides the spark. Brad Larson Media identifies promising new technologies and interfaces, and then integrates them with content plans in ways that stand up through time.

Intelligent decisions about production planning enable re-use of exhibit interactives on the Web, allowing a museum to build its Web presence while developing exhibits. Savvy budget planning can help avoid costly technologies that may become dated by the time they are installed.

Developing plans for a reliable maintenance system in conjunction with interactives helps insure that visitors will experience fewer of the "out of order" signs that often accompany technology interactives.

Smart plans for technology are evaluation-friendly. Many federally-funded projects require evaluation; Brad's familiarity with the process facilitates integration of formative evaluation results by outside evaluators, ensuring that results are integral to project development.
